My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Healthy Hoya not flowering

10 years ago



I am new to the plant. I have 2 healthy, tall, lush plants on my verandah which is north facing so they get morning sun. Why won't they flower? 5 years and nothing. What am I doing wrong?

    More light! Hoya carnosa (which is what you have) is a slow to bloom hoya, but most bloom in 3-4 years. More light exposure should do the trick. Slowly acclimate your plant by increasing the sunlight it recieves by two hours a day. A west facing window with sheer curtains is ideal for most hoyas.
